Content Guide UI for Accurate Thumbnail-Based Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic apparatuses display thumbnail images that may misrepresent the actual content, leading to user discomfort and difficulty in understanding the content details, especially when thumbnail images include provocative or exaggerated expressions and lack accompanying text.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus generates a guide UI that provides detailed information based on user input, using content information, user information, and environmental information to create a representative text that accurately reflects the content, overcoming misleading thumbnail images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If thumbnail images are used to represent content, then content selection becomes visually appealing and easy to browse, but the thumbnail may misrepresent the actual content causing user discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into two distinct parts: thumbnail display area for visual browsing and guide UI area for accurate content information. This allows users to first browse visually appealing thumbnails and then verify content details through the guide UI before final selection, resolving the contradiction between visual appeal and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide UI acts as an intermediary between the thumbnail and the actual content selection. It provides a buffer layer of accurate content information that mediates between the potentially misleading thumbnail and the user's final content choice, ensuring informed selection.
2Productivity
If thumbnail images include provocative or exaggerated expressions to draw user interest, then user engagement increases, but user comfort decreases due to mismatch with actual content
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by displaying the guide UI with accurate content information before the user makes a final content selection. This preemptively counteracts the potential harm of misleading thumbnails by providing truthful content details in advance, allowing users to make informed decisions without feeling deceived.
3Device complexity
If only thumbnail images are displayed without text, then the interface remains clean and simple, but users cannot understand content details
Solution Approach 1:
The solution adds another dimension to the interface by introducing the guide UI as a separate information layer. Instead of cluttering the thumbnail with text, the system uses spatial separation to place detailed content information in a dedicated guide UI area, maintaining visual simplicity while providing comprehensive content details.
4Loss of information
If detailed content information is always displayed, then users can understand content details accurately, but the interface becomes cluttered and less visually appealing
Solution Approach 1:
The guide UI is implemented dynamically, appearing or expanding based on user interaction with thumbnails. This dynamic behavior allows the interface to remain clean and visually appealing when users are browsing, while automatically providing detailed content information when users show interest in specific thumbnails, thus balancing simplicity and information completeness.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus includes memory storing instructions, a display, and at least one processor including processing circuitry, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, display a first screen comprising a plurality of thumbnail images for each of a plurality of contents, and based on receiving a user input selecting a first thumbnail image of a first content among the plurality of thumbnail images, obtain content information of the first content, generate a guide UI based on the content information, and based on the user input being received for at least a threshold time, display a second screen comprising the guide UI.
